I joined this site today and am excited to join in any forums. I have sewn for over 40 yrs.now(Boy that makes me sound REALLY old.
When I started to sew"Polyester fabrics" were everywhere. Sewing machines had slant needles and cottons needed to be ironed. Irons did not have auto shut offs.(what I wouldn't give to have one of those today) My favorite fabrics are flannels;cotton quilting fabric; lace and eyelet trims. first remembered project was a 4-H apron on a plastic hoop.Love to sew and cook.
